Bought an unlocked verizon s6 edge and having network problems. Currently have the phone on Cricket but it seems that I can't keep a strong signal at home. Everywhere else is good. Any suggestions? Also having problems with dialing. Everything I make a call it automatically puts 011 or +1 in front of it

I had my S2 unlocked by AT&T when the contract expired (I moved to a Note 3). I have used the S2 internationally with local SIMs for phone calls and 3G access without problems. However, I recently tried to use it as a hot spot and received a message (I don't have the exact wording) saying that either my phone would not work as a hot spot OR the SIM could not work as a hot spot. I tried the SIM in a friend's phone and it worked fine as a hot spot. So, it appears to be the phone. My S2 has the menu options for working as a hot spot, so was I doing something wrong or is there a problem with using the Skyrocket as a hot spot?
My Android version is 4.1.2.
i get reception problems in my house
never had those
it started the second i changed from s4 to s6

the only one i could find is file named CEL-G925FXXU1AOD4
its 5.0.1 though and my device has the updated 5.1.1' would this modem work ?
Hello,
Return your Galaxy S6, it's useless if you want a signal. I also have the same problem coming from the Galaxy S4, I sent the S6 for repair twice and the signal is still poor. Samsung have made a horrible mistake with the antenna on the S6. it's the worst signal of any phone I've ever seen. And don't worry about 5.1.1, I have it on my G920F and the signal is still poor.
Change mobile providers. My signal is generally full on my S6 indoors and outdoors. In the basement at work right now I have Full bars, -95dbm, 10asu. No different than on S4 or HTC One M9.
How is changing mobile provider going to help an issue caused by the phone? We both notice worse signal with our S6s compared to other phones, on the same network. So Samsung probably has a huge batch with useless antennas.
I bought a refurbished phone from Amazon and it works great aside from an absolutely terrible data signal. My old phone (Galaxy S6) had 4G almost everywhere in my house, this one I was able to get a very weak 3G signal outside. Someone on another forum suggested that I could flash my phone to Verizon and that might help. Would that actually fix the problem? If so how do I do that?
Hi
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10 from Verizon and have completely paid it off. We are switching to AT&T soon and I want to know how my phone will be affected by this. We live in a somewhat remote area, 1 bar is normal 2 bars is the maximum I have seen at home. I am concerned that the phone I have bought from Verizon does not have all of the bands that AT&T uses which will leave my phone even less operable.
Thank you to anyone who helps I really appreciate it
Hi,
I am not sure whether is this Andorid-related, Samsung modem HW related, or even my ISP host related. Well, let me describe and then move on.
I notice when I am abroad, roaming, that when I go into low signal area and ROAMING (foreign operator) signal is lost, then my phone does not recover back ONLINE when I get back to area with excellent signal. In such situations my phone number will be unavailable even for whole day, if I do not notice. Very annoying, because I need to constantly pull out my glasses to see that tiny signal icon, check signal, whether I ma online or not, and if not, reset. Or use workaround instead of reset, to turn airplane mode ON then back OFF to reset signal, and voila, I am accessible again for calls and messaging.
What I tired already:
first, I checked with my wife, she has LG G7 smartphone AND she is subscribed with another ISP, and she does NOT have any similar problems. we are traveling together to those areas without signal and back to civilization.
then I sent my Samsung Galaxy S10 to service, and of course, they did not find any problems
then I changed my SIM card for new one, but no difference
then I got angry and bought new Samsung S21 Ultra...but first trip abroad, roaming + to areas without singal, same issue again, only me, my wife no problems
So... any idea?
Is it Samsung, my ISP operator (like, maybe they have some weird roaming algos?), or Andorid 10 and 11 bug?
S21 ultra is a terrible phone, it does take nice photos though

s21 poor signal strength
I've just upgraded to the s21 from the s10. Problem is that I now only get 1 bar showing on the signal strength most of the time (including home). On the s10 it was on 3 bars most of the time using the same network and SIM. If I swap the SIM card back to the s10 I get 3 bars showing again I...
